  Thanks Joy, Aimee and Michelle.
I took this at a farm we visited when some area friends and others got together for a BP Omaha shoot recently. It was early morning here, Michelle, and very pleasant at that hour. I guarantee he didn't feel or look so fresh two hours later -- by mid-afternoon we were all wilting.

  Love your POV and treatment, Nikki. My dad's a farmer, but bought himself a new tractor with an enclosed cab, air-conditioning, and speakers. He just smiles all day long now.

  Could you send him over here when he gets done? I'm not mowing in this weather, I don't care if it buries the house. LOL

  Wonderful capture of the farmer and his equipment. The colors and perspective are excellent.

  Good POV Nikki. I like the dynamics created by the positioning of the buildings and the balance of the tractor, mower and finally the man.

Excellent work.
